Today, Apple is unveiling a multiyear programming partnership with women’s rights activist and youngest Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai. Building on Malala’s longstanding relationship with Apple, her original programming for Apple TV+ will span dramas, comedies, documentaries, animation, and children’s series, and draw on her ability to inspire people around the world.
“I believe in the power of stories to bring families together, forge friendships, build movements, and inspire children to dream,” said Malala Yousafzai. “And I couldn’t ask for a better partner than Apple to help bring these stories to life. I’m grateful for the opportunity to support women, young people, writers, and artists in reflecting the world as they see it.”
Malala and her new production company Extracurricular join Apple’s burgeoning roster of creative visionaries, including Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, Will Smith, Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Idris Elba, Martin Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio, Octavia Spencer, Kumail Nanjiani, Alfonso Cuarón, and more.
At age 16, Malala published her best-selling memoir, “I Am Malala.” She’s since written two more books, starred in a documentary about her early life, and created Assembly, a digital publication for girls and young women available on Apple News. Since launching in 2018, Assembly has published stories from young women in more than 100 countries and in over 20 languages.
Malala also founded Malala Fund to champion every girl’s right to 12 years of safe, free, quality education. In 2018, Apple became Malala Fund’s first Laureate partner, supporting the organization’s work with local advocates and teachers in eight countries where girls face significant education challenges. Apple also assists with technology, curriculum, and research into policy changes to support girls’ education. The partnership has since expanded, and in Brazil, Apple’s 10 Developer Academies have partnered with Malala Fund to advance girls’ education opportunities there and around the world.

Looking forward to more LGBTQIA+ content! Maybe Malala will have a show about women competing against men in women’s sports. That will be fun to watch.
Certainly women worldwide should be supported, Malala Yousafzai.
So SHOULD MEN!…
Malala was shot and almost died because she was a young woman seeking a high school education. She is fighting that mindset and rightly so. I am not aware that there are any men facing that sort of discrimination. If there were, I’m sure she would support them, too.
Men are shot every day for their beliefs in the same part of the world, much more so than women.
That said, comparing women’s rights in Muslim societies is not only on a different page from American women but from a completely different book.
But not white men. They are racist
Do you feel that you are an oppressed man because non-Whites are finally gaining some Constitutional and civil rights due to them? If so, then you have an affinity with Q-Anon, Proud Boys, Bugaloo Boys, and Oath Keepers storm troopers with military and police experience who invaded Capital Hill in order to make America great again for White oppressed men who want to regain their rights to control others the movement, thoughts, and behavior of non-Whites.
You DO know you are describing most social media, Democrat politicians and the mainstream media don’t you?
No, I didn’t think you would…
I understand your sense of loss of White power. At least you have Apple products to asswage your loss.
I haven’t lost anything and you understand just as much.
More Apple TV+ Crap
And Apple stock continues to define gravity, dropping like a rock. What happened in late January to turn Apple into a turd?
Apple is not a “turd.”
